Counting the Cost of Cuts to the Arts & Filmmaking Communities
Description
Host Michael Azevedo is joined by two guests to discuss recent funding cuts to the National Endowment for the Humanities, the NEH, and the National Endowment for the Arts, the NEA. To provide insight into the topic, Michael is joined by documentary filmmaker and television producer Marisa Fox, who in a recent article in the Hollywood Reporter described what she and many of her peers have been going through as the Trump administration makes drastic cuts to the NEH and the NEA.
Also joining the conversation is Laura Azevedo, executive director of Filmmakers Collaborative, which sponsors this podcast, to share how these cuts have impacted documentary filmmakers working with FC and how FC, as an organization that also runs educational programs around filmmaking and media literacy, has been impacted.
Making Media Now is sponsored by Filmmakers Collaborative, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting media makers from across the creative spectrum. From providing fiscal sponsorship to presenting an array of informative and educational programs, Filmmakers Collaborative supports creatives at every step in their journey.
